Sexual Assault Resource Team Seeks Volunteers

The UM Counseling Center’s Sexual Assault Resource Team (SART) is seeking dedicated, warm and empathic faculty, staff, and graduate student volunteers to serve during the 2018 calendar year. SART is often the first line of response for UM students who have been sexually assaulted, molested, or battered, and has supported sexual assault survivors and concerned others since 1992.

Volunteers provide hotline callers with much-needed emotional support, information, and referrals, in addition to help accessing resources when appropriate. Volunteers receive comprehensive training in taking calls from students in a variety of sexual assault-related situations, orientation to UM’s varied resources for those who have been sexually victimized, and ongoing support from licensed mental health professionals at the Counseling Center. Training is required for new volunteers, and will take place on February 2, 2018.

Faculty, staff, and students affiliated with the UM medical campus are encouraged to apply. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, contact Dr. Audrey Cleary at the Counseling Center at 305-284-5511 or [email protected].
